Universal Guiding Principles[]
For everything the we decide and do, will hold ourselves accountable and we will ask:
- Is it good for students?
- Will it help build trust and good relationships?
- Will it help us improve?
- Is it a responsible thing to do?
- Are we being open, honest and ethical?
Schools[]
The Grande Prairie Public School Division is composed of 18 schools. As the City of Grande Prairie continues to grow, the Grande Prairie Public School has been growing along with it.
Attendance at GPPSD schools is determined by geographical attendance boundaries for all neighbourhood schools. Attendance at specialized Schools of Choice is open to students who reside anywhere in the City.
